Epidemiology and Biostatistics In The News

Tasting Table

There are about 412,000 independent restaurants and nearly 240,000 chain restaurant locations in America, according to data from Technomic via Nation's Restaurant News. That's well over 600,000 establishments that need to be regularly inspected to get those health inspector grades you see in restaurant windows.

Milk has a shorter shelf life than many other foods, so this is a common concern. Most store-bought milk is pasteurized, a process that heats it to kill pathogens. But pasteurization doesn鈥檛 eliminate everything, explains food safety expert Brian Labus, Ph.D., M.P.H., REHS.
